Ferri**, who think* that hl* biggest break ha* come from a relief of hi* asthma through special medical Injection*. scored hl* 20th triumph at Philadelphia la*t night, defeating the Athletic*. 7 to 5. Although he wasn't a* effective a* usual. he bore down effectively when he needed to for hl* 21st complete ram*, hi* eighth straight victory and hl* 13th straight com plete game. Johnny Pesky, with fwo double* and a single and Ted William*, with two double*, paced the 11-bit Red Sox attack which boosted their lead to 13'» game*. The Chicago Cub* prevented the St Loui* Cardinal* from taking over the lead in the National league when Lefty Johnny Schmits scored a I to U three hit victory, shading Harry llrecbeen in a duel. Schmitz, the only Cub hnrler who tarn** the Cardinal* consistently, (cored bl* third triumph over them. A walk, a sacrifice, an infield out and a dribbling single by Mickey Livingston down the third base line gave the Cub* a cheap run in the *e<ond. Paul iDlzi Trout of the Tiger* won a similarly brilliant 1 to <• dual from Bobby Feller of the Indian* at Cleveland. Trout yielded but three hit* m gain hi* 10th victory against II defeat*. Feller, suffering bi* seventh lo** against 21 victories, also guve up but three! hit* before going out In the eighth He fanned seven to bring hi* strikeout total for the year to 262 Feller now i* ahead of hi* pre viou* high of 201 strikeout* «et in 1940, but still I* 71 *hy of the record of 343 held by Rube Wad dell of the 1»«4 Philadelphia Ath let les.
